Smart objects in Photoshop are a powerful feature
that allows users to manipulate and edit their
images non-destructively. By using these special
layers, one can preserve an image's original
characteristics and apply various adjustments
without affecting the original source content.
BENEFITS
Perform nondestructive transforms. You
can scale, rotate, skew, distort,
perspective transform, or warp a layer
without losing original image data or
quality because the transforms don't
affect the original data.
Work with vector data, such as vector
artwork from Illustrator, that otherwise
would be rasterized in Photoshop.
Perform nondestructive filtering. You
can edit filters applied to Smart Objects
at any time.
Edit one Smart Object and automatically
update all its linked instances.
Apply a layer mask that's either linked or
unlinked to the Smart Object layer.
